A Declarative Mapping SentenceIn the first chapter of this book, I gave brief details about mapping sentences and facet theory, and in order to facilitate understanding of mapping sentences and also to enable this chapter to be read alone, I may repeat some of the content of Chapter 1 in this chapter. Developing a declarative mapping... (Declarative Mapping Sentences in Qualitative Research: Theoretical, Linguistic, and Applied Usages)Declarative Mapping SentencesContent Summary Throughout the earlier chapters of this book, I have considered both the declarative and traditional forms of mapping sentences, although I emphasised the traditional form of mapping sentence in the first chapter.

(Declarative Mapping Sentences in Qualitative Research: Theoretical, Linguistic, and Applied Usages)When and Why to Use the Declarative Mapping SentenceWhen information is interpreted in a reliable manner (in a way that yields similar results when explorations and interpretations of similar content are performed at different times and in different places), such interpretations may be said to possess hermeneutical consistency.

(Declarative Mapping Sentences in Qualitative Research: Theoretical, Linguistic, and Applied Usages)The Declarative Mapping Sentence as a Structured Mereology and Structured OntologyThe claims that I made earlier are broad, and during the remainder of this book, I will attempt to provide further support and justification for these.

(Declarative Mapping Sentences in Qualitative Research: Theoretical, Linguistic, and Applied Usages)The Semantic and Linguistic Structure of the Mapping SentenceAs well as containing a substantive content in regard to an area of research, all forms of mapping sentences also embody linguistic and semantic structures.1 The linguistic components of a mapping sentence are the words and grammar which contain and transmit the sentence’s meaning (the semantic sense).... (Declarative Mapping Sentences in Qualitative Research: Theoretical, Linguistic, and Applied Usages)Building visual worlds: insights from using mapping in qualitative researchDrawing together these two studies, we would like to make three claims about some potential benefits of maps and map making in the context of qualitative research in psychology. Maps are particularly good at, perhaps unsurprisingly, locating experiences, and enabling participants to explore complexity... (A Handbook of Visual Methods in Psychology: Using and Interpreting Images in Qualitative Research)Qualitative Research as a Methodological FrameworkThrough its strong focus on a casuistic study of the subjective logic in a patient’s functioning this kind of diagnosis is by itself a vulnerable method: vulnerable, that is, to becoming too strongly influenced by the style of a diagnostician, and by errors of thinking or preconceptions in her functioning....
